Anyone know the best way to use this website? I can't seem to make heads or tails of who is who, how to follow friends. I tried making a group but have had no success. Do you just communicate using noticifications and private messages? I'm so confused lately :) Any ideas would be appreciated.

Check out the main forum topics. Select a thread that interests you and start there.Add to the ongoing conversation, and before you know it, friends found!.

Pming is usually for when you've made a connection.

Try starting with a group from around the time you were banded. For example, I met some really interesting people on the december bandwagon thread.

Feel free to PM me and if I can't answer your questions, I'll find someone who can.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
